Creating and Using a Study Schedule

Creating and Using a Study Schedule

A study schedule is a plan for how you will spend your time studying. It can help you to stay organized and on track, and to make the most of your study time.

 

Benefits of Using a Study Schedule

There are many benefits to using a study schedule, including:

  • Improved time management: A study schedule can help you to better manage your time and to prioritize your studies.
  • Reduced stress: A study schedule can help to reduce stress by giving you a sense of control over your studies.

Improved academic performance: Studies have shown that students who use study schedules tend to perform better academically.


How to Create a Study Schedule

To create a study schedule, follow these steps:

  1. List all of your commitments. This includes classes, homework, extracurricular activities, and any other commitments that you have.
  2. Prioritize your commitments. Decide which commitments are most important to you and which ones you can afford to spend less time on.
  3. Schedule time for each commitment. Start by scheduling time for your most important commitments. Then, schedule time for less important commitments.
  4. Be realistic. Don’t try to schedule too much time for studying each day. Be realistic about how much time you have available and how much time you can realistically focus on studying.
  5. Schedule breaks. It is important to take breaks when you are studying. Schedule breaks throughout the day to give yourself a chance to rest and recharge.


Tips for Using a Study Schedule

Here are a few tips for using a study schedule effectively:

  • Set specific goals for each study session. What do you want to accomplish during each study session? Having specific goals will help you to stay focused and on track.
  • Find a study buddy or group. Studying with others can help you to stay motivated and to learn from each other.
  • Take advantage of study resources. There are many study resources available, such as libraries, tutors, and online resources. Take advantage of these resources to get the most out of your study time.
  • Don’t be afraid to adjust your schedule. Your schedule may not be perfect at first. Don’t be afraid to adjust it as needed. The most important thing is to have a schedule that works for you and that helps you to reach your goals.

Tips and Techniques of Successful Students

Tips and techniques for successful students

Successful students have good study habits. They apply these habits to all of their classes, regardless of the difficulty of the subject matter. There are many different study habits that can be helpful, but some of the most common and effective ones include:

  • Set specific goals for your study time. Before you start studying, take a few minutes to think about what you want to accomplish during your study session. This could be something like reading a certain number of pages in your textbook, completing a practice worksheet, or reviewing your notes for a test. Having specific goals will help you stay focused and motivated.
  • Find a study environment that works for you. Some students prefer to study in a quiet library, while others prefer to study at home or in a coffee shop. Experiment with different study environments to find one where you can focus and avoid distractions.
  • Take breaks. It is important to take breaks while studying, especially if you are studying for a long period of time. Get up and move around every 20-30 minutes to avoid getting burned out. You can also take a longer break to eat a snack, go for a walk, or talk to a friend.
  • Use active learning strategies. Active learning strategies, such as creating your own test questions (self-testing), teaching the material to yourself (self-explanation), and asking “how” and “why” questions to build connections between ideas (elaborative interrogation), are more effective than simply reading over your notes or textbooks. Active learning helps you to engage with the material and process it more deeply.
  • Review your notes regularly. Don’t wait until the night before a test to start studying. Review your notes regularly so that you can keep the information fresh in your mind. This will also help you to identify any areas where you need additional review.


Tips & Techniques for Better Learning

  • Use spaced practice. Spaced practice, or spaced repetition, is a learning technique that involves reviewing information at gradually increasing intervals. This helps to move the information from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. There are many different spaced repetition tools available, such as flashcards, apps, and software programs.
  • Use mnemonic devices. Mnemonic devices are memory aids that can help you remember information. For example, you might use a song, acronym, or rhyme to remember a list of items. Mnemonic devices can be especially helpful for memorizing complex concepts or formulas.
  • Get help when you need it. If you are struggling with a particular concept or topic, don’t be afraid to ask for help from your teacher, a tutor, or a classmate. There are also many online resources available, such as Khan Academy and YouTube tutorials.


Tips for Developing Good Study Habits

  • Create a study schedule. Set aside specific times each day or week to study. This will help you to stay on track and avoid procrastination.
  • Find a study buddy. Studying with a friend or classmate can help you to stay motivated and focused. You can quiz each other, review material together, and discuss difficult concepts.
  • Take care of yourself. Getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, and exercising regularly are all important for optimal learning.

Developing good study habits takes time and effort, but it is worth it in the long run. By following the tips and techniques above, you can improve your learning and achieve your academic goals.


Additional Tips for Successful Students

  • Be organized. Keep your notes, textbooks, and other school supplies organized so that you can easily find what you need.
  • Manage your time effectively. In addition to studying, you also have to make time for other activities, such as extracurricular activities, social events, and family obligations. Create a to-do list each day or week to help you stay on track.
  • Be proactive. Don’t wait until the night before a test or assignment to start studying. Start working on your assignments as soon as possible and ask for help if you need it.

By following these tips, you can set yourself up for success in school and beyond.

SQ3R – An All-in-One Reading Comprehension/Study System

 

SQ3R - An All-in-One Note Taking/Reading Comprehension/Study Skills System. Study smarter, not harder!

 

SQRRR or SQ3R is an all-in-one reading comprehension/study skills system that stands for Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review. Many students fall into the trap of passively scanning their texts, which research has proven pitifully ineffective. SQ3R helps students actively read while also giving them a framework in which to study.

Survey

  • Read the introduction/summary.
  • If there is no intro or summary for your reading, read the first and last paragraph of the reading.
  • Notice each heading and subheading.
  • Notice reading aids, graphics, and figures.


Question

Turn each heading and subheading into as many questions as you think will be answerable in that section. I usually recommend that students write these questions down. If one of your headings is “Dividing Berlin into East and West,” your questions might look like, “why was Berlin divided into two parts?”, “who controlled the two sections?”, and “how was the city divided?”


Read

Read only the heading or subheading for which you have formulated a question. Keep your questions in mind and try to find the answers while reading.


Recite

Answer the questions you created either by writing the answers or by saying them out loud. I typically suggest that students try both, or at least just write the answer so that they can study from it later.

If you find that you don’t remember enough of the reading to answer the question, go back to the reading and try again. Don’t move on to the next section until you can successfully answer the question.


Review

Once you have finished reading your text, go through all of your questions and answer them. If you can’t answer a particular question, go back to the reading to find it and try again. Once you can answer all the questions, move on.

If you have a written record of questions and answers, then you can study from these notes at a later time to really get the material into your long term memory.

If you find that you’re still having trouble with reading comprehension, there are other resources available to help. Hodis Learning & Music has expert English and Language Arts tutors who are experienced in helping students improve their reading comprehension skills. Our tutors can tailor a reading comprehension plan to your specific needs to help you or your student flourish in their understanding of the material. Contact us today to reserve your spot!

Students often ask me about how to take better notes. I often notice that these students use the outline method, where they write their notes bullet-by-bullet and organize the notes with headings.

While the outline method is not terrible, it also isn’t the most effective way to take notes. A better option is the Cornell method, which is one of the most effective note taking techniques.

Proper Technique

Create two columns on a page. The left column should be 2.5” wide and the right should be 6” wide. And leave a 2” tall space at the bottom. Don’t agonize over these proportions, though.

Take notes in the right column. And add comments, questions, and key terms to the left column. Then write a brief 2-4 sentence summary of the notes at the bottom of the page.

Comments can look like “important!,” “will be tested on this,” “this relates to concept x,” etc. Write a question in the left column when you don’t understand something. Or write questions that test for understanding.

Tips for Success

There are two very important tips when it comes to notetaking. Write the notes in your own words. And, review your notes repeatedly until your test. Always review notes on the same day that you took them. Then review them the next day and every few days after that.

Don’t write everything you see and hear in lecture. This is a surefire way to get overwhelmed and miss content. At the same time, don’t write too little. If your notes are too sparse, it will be difficult to study from them.

Write short, succinct sentences. To save time, try using abbreviations and symbols that you will understand later when you are reviewing your notes.

Handwriting your notes is more effective for learning than typing notes. However, if you have handwriting that you have trouble reading, then typing your notes will be just fine.

Why It Works

Cornell notes are extremely organized, which helps organize your understanding of the material. The structure of the notes provide the perfect study guide, too! Use those comments, questions, and key-terms written in the left column to test yourself on the content in the right column. And be sure to review your summaries at the bottom of the page.

Summary

The Cornell note taking technique is highly effective and doubles as a study guide. It can be challenging to use at first, but will become easier with practice.

Have you ever read a chapter in your textbook and later realized that you missed a lot of important points? If so, you’re not alone. Reading a textbook can be challenging, especially when dozens of key points are interspersed throughout 15-20 pages of material. Many students read quickly and don’t stop to ask questions, which leads to ineffective learning. This is called passive reading.

Learn how to get more out of your reading with the following tips for active reading.

How To Employ Active Reading

  • Predict: read all of the headings and subheadings in the chapter and take note of the key terms. Use this information to predict what each section will discuss and how they will all relate to each other.
  • Externally process: read aloud or think aloud. Some students have an easier time reading aloud. Some students find it helpful to alternate between reading out loud and in their head. And thinking aloud can be a great way to connect ideas for most students.
  • Activate: connect your reading to prior knowledge. Take a second to stop after a main idea and see if you can connect the information to other topics in or outside of the course.
  • Infer: while reading, think about how what you’re learning relates to the main ideas of the course content.
  • Clarify: if you don’t understand a part of the text, pause to clarify the confusion before moving on.
  • Visualize: as you read, picture the content in your mind.
  • Question: ask yourself questions about the content. Use these questions to predict, activate, infer, and clarify. And use questions to test yourself as you are reading.

Why It Works

Active reading helps you understand the individual parts of your material while also providing a framework to integrate the information into a holistic understanding.

Summary

Active reading may be challenging to implement all at once. Try introducing one or two active reading strategies at a time until you are comfortable using them all together. Active reading may take more effort and time than passive reading, but it is worth it!

Building Strong Study Skill Series: Flashcards. Students studying with a tutor.

 

Note: This study skills series details how to study smarter, not harder, to help students succeed in their academics. All information in this series draws upon principles from psychological research on learning and memory.

Flashcards were probably one of the first study skills you ever used. They’re relatively easy to make and easy to study from. But many students don’t use flashcards to their full potential. In this article, we’ll talk about ways to use flashcards more effectively to optimize your study time.

Proper Technique

When a student uses flashcards properly, they naturally employ the self-testing technique:

Flashcards work best when the questions and answers are self-created. To do this, write questions that you came up with and write the answers in your own words. Don’t simply copy questions and answers from your book.

If you have a study guide with written questions, then at least write the answers to those questions in your own words on your flashcards. However, to make your set of flashcards more effective, consider adding self-created questions.

Tips for Success

Write free-response questions instead of questions that elicit multiple choice or true-false answers.

Why It Works

Students encode the information through the very process of making flashcards. Students further encode that information when they come up with answers to their questions. Also, research shows that the most powerful type of learning occurs when students retrieve information from their memory. 

Summary

When used properly, students use flashcards to self-test. Self-testing and spaced practice are the two most effective study skills. But they’re not the only study skills, and should still be used with other techniques:

Building Strong Study Skill Series: Self-Testing. Students studying with a tutor.

Note: This series details how to study smarter, not harder, to help students succeed in their academics. All information in this series draws upon principles from psychological research on learning and memory.

Throughout this series, we’ve covered a broad range of study skills. According to effect sizes in the literature, some of these skills are not very effective (Study Habits You Should Knock Part I and II), while others are moderately effective (Interleaved StudyingSelf-ExplanationElaborative Interrogation). By far, however, spaced practice and self-testing are the most effective study techniques.

So what is self-testing and how do you do it?

Proper Technique

Self-testing consists of testing your knowledge independently. It can take many forms: answering questions at the end of the chapter, flashcards, online review quizzes, etc.

Tips for Success

Self-testing is most effective in a free-recall format, as opposed to a recognition format like true-false or multiple choice questions.

Creating your own questions for self-testing increases the effectiveness of this study technique even further!

Why It Works

Research shows that the most powerful type of learning occurs when students retrieve information from their memory.

Summary

Self-testing is a straightforward study technique that most students already use. For the best results, try creating your own free-recall questions.

Building Strong Study Skills: Spaced Practice

Note: This series details how to study smarter, not harder, to help students succeed in their academics. All information in this series draws upon principles from psychological research on learning and memory.

Have you ever put off studying for a test until the night before? How much caffeine did it take to get through the hours of studying? How many hours of sleep did you lose to studying? And do you remember any of the material that you studied?

Studying all of your material in a session right before the test is called massed practice, or cramming. Spaced practice is the exact opposite of cramming and offers significant benefits.

Proper Technique

Spaced practice consists of breaking up your studying into smaller sessions over a longer period of time. It is usually recommended that students study their material on days that they don’t have the class they’re studying for.

For example, if a student has a test in two weeks, a good study practice would be to study, say, 60 minutes on each day that the student does not have that class. If there are four days each week that a student doesn’t have class, that adds up to eight hours of studying!

But students shouldn’t study for a particular subject for 60 minutes straight – they should interleave their studying with other topics.

Tips for Success

Students need to be on top of their studies in order to use spaced practice effectively. Plan out your study days and times to make sure you are on track and prepared for your test. Our tutors are the perfect resource for developing better study habits and can help you make study plans.

Why It Works

Research shows that studying for a total of five hours over a two week period, as opposed to five hours before the test, gives students a greater ability to learn the material and helps them retain the knowledge for a longer period of time.

But why? Learning and memory researchers have a couple leading explanations. The first is that studying for a long period of time offers diminishing returns; or, the longer you study, the less effective it is. After a while, the subject becomes monotonous and students lose focus.

The second theory explains that spaced practice provides a framework of reminding. The more a student is reminded of their material, the stronger their memories of that material become. And, frequent reminding also provides the student with more opportunities to make connections among different ideas.

Summary

Cramming is not a good study habit. Spaced practice provides students with better results and retention of material. And it’s easy to implement! Contact us today to begin building more effective study habits with one of our tutors.

Building Strong Study Skills: Elaborative Interrogation

Note: This series details how to study smarter, not harder, to help students succeed in their academics. All information in this series draws upon principles from psychological research on learning and memory.

The other day, one of my high school students asked, “Where does wind come from?” My student had taken chemistry and physics already, so I helped him find the answer by asking him these questions:

“How does uneven heating of the earth create changes in air pressure? How do these changes in air pressure create wind?”

Together, we found that uneven heating patterns lead to high and low pressure patches of air around the globe. A rush of air, or wind, is created because air travels from high pressure to low pressure areas to reach equilibrium.

My student and I practiced elaborative interrogation, or using “how” and “why” questions to enhance memory and understanding of course material.

Proper Technique

Use “how” and “why” questions to study your course material. For example, say that you are learning about the greenhouse effect. A good question to ask is “How does the greenhouse effect cause global warming?” And you may answer, “Sunlight reflected from the earth’s surface is prevented by greenhouse gasses from leaving the atmosphere. This retained heat leads to warmer temperatures.”

Tips for Success

This technique works best for memorizing concepts related to processes, events, and people. Elaborative interrogation may be difficult or nonsensical to use for other topics.

Elaborative interrogation is only effective when the student has background knowledge on the subject to accurately answer their self-created questions. If a student creates incorrect answers, the point is lost.

Why It Works

Elaborative interrogation works by activating prior knowledge and connecting new knowledge to it. Think of your memory as a giant web of information. If a new piece of information fits nicely with an existing strand of knowledge, then it will stick better. But if your new knowledge has no strand to stick to, then it may get lost easily.

Summary

Elaborative interrogation is a helpful study technique, especially for memorizing and understanding information related to people, places, and processes. Students of all ages can use it. If you don’t have any prior knowledge on a subject, however, it may be difficult to answer questions or to come up with questions in the first place. It’s an easy method to use, so try it out for your next test!
